I totally used to get these, and so does my Gran. We both are very well-endowed. (And heavy... now and then they'll start just under my tummy flap too.)
My advice...
First off... NO POWDER. Gran does this, and it drives me crazy, cause she doesn't understand why it keeps getting worse. Well... she's (your) putting groundup rocks in your bra, on sensative skin. It's gonna keep grinding away.
But the real trick of it--for me--is making sure under your boobs are COMPLETELY dry after a shower/bath. I shower, then lay down in front of a fan for about 5-10 minutes, moving this way and that every now and then to make sure the air hits everywhere.
If you're going to put on medication---and I've found that Monostat external cream does work for Gran--do the same thing... put it on, then DRY DRY DRY.
Since I've been hypervigilant about drying off, I haven't really had an issue with these since then. ... Oh, I also make sure I'm totally dry before I get dressed--in case I got damp while sleeping. And when it's going to be really hot humid and nasty out? Deoderant under the boobs--but just a little. (Well, antiperperant, I suppose it actucally is.)
